Wings give the power of flight, but a cost must be borne
And the life you will live is the sum of the choices you make
In thinking these thoughts, my pupils began to freeze
But a wise man found me and shone his light on my path
And he said these words to me
Open your eyes and see through it all
Your trailing footprints, shining in gold
Approaching the precipice of this era of insanity
You've got to steady your gaze and carve your name in history
Prejudiced thinking will fill your brain and obscure your vision
And the lies that we hold further erode the world that we share
The demons that hide in the fog must be revealed and destroyed
Search in yourself for a power stronger than ever before
Let's go
So open your eyes and see through it all
Your trailing footprints, shining in gold
Crossing the threshold into the next age of man
Gilded history returns once more to stone
Go!
Wipe from the sand the unfading blood
Gather the pieces of the shattered hourglass
I can't escape from this labyrinthine prison
Under my skin crawl the worms of desperation
Wipe from the sand the unfading blood
Gather the pieces of the shattered hourglass
I paid the price for each feather on my wings
But the sky has collapsed inside this endless maze
Open your eyes and see through it all
Your trailing footprints, shining in gold
Now in the haze of the new era of the world
You've got to focus your gaze and search for truth within the void
Search for sight beyond the black

HELL FREEZES OVER
This is their 1st album recorded to analog tape and not edited by computer. Whole back tracks recorded live off the floor. They are Inspired by 70's & 80's musics. In this world of convenience, what do you think is really important? In a word, simplicity or ease? Just think about it. This album is an antithesis to such a world. This album was made to question the foundation of this world. Since their debut in 2018, this long-awaited first full-length album by the five-piece has always been the focus of attention in the Japanese heavy metal scene due to their tight performances and the energy they emit, which is hard to imagine from their young looks!
Artist Profile
HELL FREEZES OVER
HELL FREEZES OVER, are true heavy metal band from Japan formed in 2013. Despite their tender ages, HFO have established themselves as seasoned veterans of the Tokyo metal scene. The band have taken their influences from classic rock, NWOBHM and classic thrash and dragged them into the 21st century, with a familiar, yet fresh sound music. Their debut EP, Speed Metal Attack was released in July 2018, and received good reviews, including one in Burrn! which is Japan's biggest metal magazine. Hot on the heels of the EP came Japanese shows with the likes of Raven, Blitzkrieg, Tygers Of Pang Tang, Venom Inc, Girlschool, and Flotsam & Jetsam. Their acclaimed debut album, Hellraiser was released in August 2020. It was recorded onto analog tape with no digital editing. They also shot a music video for the song, Overwhelm, using 16mm film and released it just before the album. In 2021, the band signed a deal with SLEASZY RIDER RECORDS(Greece) for the world-wide release of Hellraiser on vinyl. Following a brief haitus, the band returned with new members Ikumu (bass) and Nishi-DA (drums). They joined founder members, guitarists Ryoto and Hirotomo and long-time vocalist Gainer to give HFO its tightest and most dynamic lineup to date. Following successful domestic shows in the spring of 2023 with Anvil and Night Demon, the band geared up for their biggest challenge to date. In September, Hell Freezes Over played their first ever overseas shows, opening for Testament, Marduk and Sepultura, in Bangkok and Singapore. To round off a momentous year for the band, December 2023 saw the release of 2 blistering new tracks, The Killing Floor (with video) and Shred.
